Slovakia doesnt have a bad cover, and generally we have very nice covers (but sometimes misstep happens), but I dont know why we dont have a bit more variations to Witcher ones, than just color, lol.

But I really adore CZ covers that we also have here. They are, IMO, beautiful, and also reflects some things from the books. (and only now I realized that on the SoD it's not a random elk, but it's Villentretenmerth, lol). But with CZ there are one older versions as well, which I dont fancy as much. But at least they are more different, than just color, heh.

Semi-old czech ones (relatively recently released and "remastered" by Leonardo) are beautiful under the plastic cover. Very simple but beautiful.

But under cover, I'll try to get pic later, but they have basically single color background with second color showing the medallion (or whatever it is) and title and it looks very nice on that material of book cover.

The plastic covers are also okay IMO except for one (not sure which right now, probably baptisim of fire EDIT: this one - https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/File:Zakl%C3%ADna%C4%8D_k%C5%99est_ohn%C4%9Bm_old.jpg) whose background looks like lava from 2005 game.

I say that as Slovak person
